The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director. Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year.

Today we left Maryland at about 10:30 am and headed to Richmond, VA to have lunch with Mom Sally, Pop Pop Bob, and Shari. We met at a place called the Black Finn, on the canal in Richmond.

We drove on until about 10:00 pm to Savannah, GA and we are going to stay here and see the sights for a while and return home right in time to get our sweet Maddie & for the weekend services. We've never been to Savannah except for driving through. There are some things we want to see here as we've heard so much about it, and we're going to try to get reservations to eat at Paula Deen's restaurant if possible. Good thing this hotel has a workout room!
